‘Surely not’ – Conor McGregor sends fans into frenzy by teasing career change in new training footage ...Middle East

Conor McGregor has teased a potential switch to bare-knuckle boxing in new training footage.

McGregor hasn’t fought in any combat sport since 2021 after breaking his leg in a UFC trilogy defeat to Dustin Poirier.

The Irishman was set to return in a comeback fight against Michael Chandler last July, but the fight was cancelled after he withdrew with a broken toe.

UFC president Dana White has yet to commit to any return date for the former two-weight champion, with many questioning if he will ever grace the cage again.

But the 36-year-old remains in training, and has tried to stay fit despite his absence from competition.

McGregor has maintained an active interest in combat, especially since acquiring bare-knuckle boxing promotion BKFC.

He has even teased a potential switch to the ranks, where he would be making an astonishing debut.

And in his biggest hint yet that he could enter a third combat sport after boxing Floyd Mayweather in 2017, he trained without gloves on.

McGregor hit the padded hands of his coach without gloves on, a sign that he could be set for an ambitious career change.

Fans were convinced that it would be in BKFC where he will make his comeback, with one writing: “Surely not, is he really going to bare-knuckle.

One wrote: “I can’t see it, but this would be a great promotion for BKFC.

Another even remarked: “This could genuinely be a good move for him.”

Others weren’t so sure, with one writing: “This is just to keep him relevant. He is NOT fighting ever again.

“He’s a businessman, an owner, entrepreneur and a multimillionaire.”

One agreed, adding: Bro I’m a fan, and no he’s not. If you think he’s gonna bare knuckle fight and risk injury you’re dreaming.

“He’ll do profitable exhibition fights. That’s literally it, we know this.”

A final fan even pleaded with McGregor to avoid it, concluding: Why? You’re worth what 300 million? Conor, don’t do that man.

“These guys are animals and hungry. You’re a millionaire and comfortable. Not a good mix.”

McGregor has himself suggested on multiple occasions he would compete in BKFC calling out Jeremy Stephens and Mike Perry.

An increasing pool of former UFC talent is making the switch over to the bare-knuckle ranks.

But currently, ‘The Notorious’ is tied down to a two-fight deal with the UFC, and would need to negotiate his way out of a contract to compete.

Despite his terms with the UFC, McGregor has issued a passionate plea over the destination of his fighting future.

“The warrior spirit burns strong inside me,” he said.

“For sure. If you think I’m up here giving these speeches and leading these men into battle and I won’t step in there myself, think again.

“For sure. Conor McGregor will fight in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship — mark my words.”
